Investment X offers to pay you $5,100 per year for nine years, whereas Investment Y offers to pay you $7,200 per year for five years.
Calculate the present value for Investments X and Y if the discount rate is 6 percent. (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answers to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)
Present value Investment X $ Investment Y $
Calculate the present value for Investments X and Y if the discount rate is 16 percent. (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answers to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)
Present value Investment X $ Investment Y $
PV of annuity formula
PV = Annuity*(1-1/(1+r)^n)/r
Investment X
PV = 5100*(1-1/1.06^9)/0.06 =34688.63
Investment Y
PV =7200*(1-1/1.06^5)/0.06=30329.02
At 16% rate
Investment X
PV = 5100*(1-1/1.16^9)/0.16 =23493.37
Investment Y
PV =7200*(1-1/1.16^5)/0.16=23574.91
PV of an annuity is mathematically represented as:
PV =
a) r = 6%
Investment X
PV = 5100 * 6.8017
PV = $34,688.63
Investment Y
PV = 7200 * 4.2124
PV = $30,329.02
a) r = 16%
Investment X
PV = 5100 * 4.6065
PV = $23,493.37
Investment Y
PV = 7200 * 3.2743
PV = $23,574.91
